I agree Bxrider, BUT I don't see VZW releasing it around the same time S2, I think it'll b released around a month after. I think VZW will want people to come in and change to the S2 'cause of how smooth it'll run and how fast it'll run, then once that month passes then they'll prob let S1 owners get the new OS.

Doesn't matter. We should have the VZW S1 release before then anyways. Leaks, leaks, leaks!

I tend to disagree with this. If VZW passes the build that they have in the final stage of testing, it will be released soon after, unless RIM has a specific OS 5.0 launch date that they must wait for.

I just had to replace my Storm, 1st replacement... if this doesnt werk right i may have to do a multi fru for the 9550... lol, my luck never turns that way.

Be careful with the whole multi-fru wording... it is a turn off for vzw employees if a person knows any of those terms it suggests just as you are suggesting that the person is working the system. Hopefully Verizon will have a safeguard to ensure that very few people get changed from the s1 to the s2 without being eligble. You have to understand that unless you bought this phone within a few months of the release then you knew the issues it had. You also must understand that for a company to stay sustainable they cant be forking out replacements and new phones. Also the multi-fru policy may be a little more stringent then you may imagine. Also with the 5.0 software around the corner I don't foresee you being able to talk vzw into believing that your phone is having the required issues to suffice a swap out.

Oh and kinda like what Dave said... I dont foresee vzw holding back the launch of the 5.0 os on purpose being that they are going to want to ensure that people are not attempting to get swap outs just to try to get an s2.

I believe the best course of action would be to launch this software as soon as possible so that they can cut down on refurbs and eliminate the chance of swaps to the s2!
